I frequently copy excerpts from a PDF using the 'Snapshot' tool ('G' keyboard shortcut) and paste them into emails and chat (MS Outlook & Teams). I love that it can retain vector data and have customized resolution. However, I ran into an issue trying to copy the full page. Even with a basic, unlocked, 8.5x11 page with…
This week, we're highlighting the Snapshot tool! Did you know the Snapshot tool allows you to copy text, images, or vector graphics and paste them as new vector images? You may be asking yourself, "Is the Snapshot tool different than copying/pasting?" And the answer is yes! The Snapshot tool allows you to retain the vector…
Is there a shortcut to colorize snapshots? I use the snapshot tool quite a bit to take a snip of something and then overlay on another drawing. After pasting that snapshot, I will typically right-click and chose "Change Color" and select colorize and have it changed to red so I can distinguish from the snapshot and the…
Is there a way to crop a snapshot to remove unwanted content without flattening, or taking a new snapshot? My use case is to use a single snapshot multiple times, then crop each of them once pasted and placed in position. I appreciate i may need to just take multiple snapshots, however this would mean i am required to have…
I am referring to this. When Bluebeam Revu x64 is open, and I've not noticed it before, this pops up when I press the screenshot button. That would be fine except it removes the screenshot data if I wait too long. It also doesn't let me paste into other applications. I would prefer to disable this feature completely. I've…
We would like to preset the Mask colour of a symbol so that this doesn't need to be edited afterwards for every snapshot while creating a library from a PDF with all the symbols on a white background. It is a lot of repetative work to change the colour White of every symbol to transparant. Also it would be great to have a…
When I attach a capture photo to a markup (generally a photo of an on site condition located on the drawings) the capture pop-up shows up. This is great, but it would be nice if this pop-up acted like a typical Microsoft Window. I would like it to have features such as, moving to another screen, maximizing or minimizing,…
When you need to take a snap of a portion of a pdf to prepare a new pdf document then it is always better to use the tool Snapshot (keyboard shortcut G) rather than taking Printscreen. By this we can avoid blurring of the snap / image.
Is there a way to select specifically objects instead of creating Poly Shapes in Revu to delete page content? If there's not, Bluebeam should think about selecting lines in the same way you can Adobe to delete content. This would help me keep text in the middle of a line I may be trying to delete, or vice versa. Only way…

Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…
Has anyone experienced this issue after updating to version 21.6? It doesn’t happen every time, but occasionally I get a popup that prevents Bluebeam from opening. When this occurs, I’m unable to launch the application at all. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a solution.
There should be a way to add layers in a pdf on blue beam studio to have to set them all up sheet by sheet then upload them is very time consuming each time a new sheet is added or if someone else adds sheet
I have recently been upgraded to Revu 21 and I remember my tools having custom properties applied for certain tools. Like attaching cost codes to specific tool chest items. I am not seeing the custom fields in the properties window now. Where did it move to?
I've run an overlay on an 88-page project with lots of changes. When trying to print a physical copy, it gets hung up. Even printing in batches is slow because several pages lead to virtual freezing. Are there any tips on how to improve/speed up the printing process? I've flattened and reduced file size, but that has had…
Since it looks like there is no way to unflatten a form field I am wondering if there is a way to lock one. So far I am not able to get it to work. Thanks
I have the Revu Complete plan. Revu is largest user of memory on my system. Right now I have 4 plans open and my memory usage is at 2,486.6 MB I seem to hover around 2,000 MB. Could there be a setting I need to change which will reduce this usage? I have some lagging in other programs. I had attemped to use Studio once to…
Hello y'all ! Is there someon who know how to export coordinate of each control point? (Polyline, not polylength measurement) Thank you ! :-D
Is there some reason why OCR works on some text in a drawing file and not other text? It looks to be the same font as other text on the drawing that OCR was successful in making searchable. Sorry I am unable to include a snip due to IP. Can anyone share their OCR settings? I've been using Bluebeam for years and still have…
